Abstract:
Hospitals and health care organizations possess a large number of
medical devices and equipments, most of these devices and equipments
are very complex and designed with modern technology. Hospitals must
insure that their critical medical devices are safe, accurate, reliable and
operating at the required level of performance. Equipments should be
properly maintained and kept in a good running condition in order that
they fulfill the objectives for which they were purchased. Even though the
importance, the application of all inspections, maintenance and
optimization models to medical devices is fairly new.
Equipments failure may not always be apparent to clinical staff.
Therefore they should be inspected periodically. Scheduled inspections
help to ensure the safety and efficiency of medical equipments. In this
study the software tool is developed to implement a risk oriented
prioritization of devices for preventive maintenance inspections, were
devices with higher criticality score can be assigned a higher priority
maintenance management program. The data base contain the equipment
inventory, and related data files.
First established an effective, efficient planned inspection and preventive
maintenance system, and then collected data of all equipments in
hospitals or health care organizations entered to the system.
The reports based on the inspection results, help in determining better
scheduling than constant sweeping of all the devices
